Question: 27
(Choose 1 answer)
The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12 ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution
with a mean of 12.27 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.18 ounce. The cans only hold 12.45 ounces of
soda. Every can that has more than 12.45 ounces of soda poured into it causes a spill and the can needs to
go through a special cleaning process before it can be sold. What is the probability a randomly selected can
will need to go through this process?
Let P(Z-1) 0.1587 and P(Z < 1) = 0.8413.
A. 0.6587
B. 0.1587
C. 0.3413
D. 0.8413
